Why should Americans send TAX dollars to Israel? Is it a waste of our money?

Question

We send Billions of out Tax dollars to this one small country. More then we send to entire regions for aid.

Answer 1

A previous answer pointed out that we taxpayers have to send our money to Washington D.C. Our government, controlled by the Israeli Lobby, then forwards three billions to Israel. My wife and I have complained to our Congress and President for over 20 years about this, to no avail. The really sad thing is that the over 100 Billion dollars we have sent could have built overpasses and underpasses at every railroad crossing in the U.S., saving thousands of lives and billions of dollars and could now be helping tornado, flood, earthquake and hurricane victims right here in our country.

Answer 2

Because the US government knows that it is in exactly predicament as Israel - if it were ruled today that Israel actually has no claim on Palestinian or any Middle Eastern nation land, the Native Americans and Mexicans will all be running to court for redress. So, the US government will do anything to help keep Israel on others land because it fears a similar fate if matters were otherwise.

By the way, Great Britain, the US government and Israel are the true TERRORISTS for invading people's land in other to plunder, dictating to people in their land when "they" think the natives should go to bed, rise up, etc. and seeking to displace people in their homelands. Israel has no rights (Biblical or not) to any Middle Eastern nation. FIGHT FOR YOUR LANDS AND RIGHTS, YOU ALL MIDDLE EASTERN NATIONS/COUNTRIES! No one other than yourselves should be dictating what or where you all can or cannot go in your lands. You all are also the Almighty One's creation and should not suffer for any mistaken invention or alleged invention of HIS. Israel is no longer the "chosen" as of the latter part of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament: The "Chosen" as of then is whosoever will accept and live by the commandments of the Almighty One as recorded in the Holy books. FIGHT FOR YOUR LANDS AND YOUR RIGHTS!

Answer 3

For the same reason that America subsidizes Arab nations, the Palestinian Authority, Europe and any other country in the world.

If it stops for Israel, it stops for everybody. BTW, Israel also donates millions of dollars for the upkeep of the PA, and gives a stipend to every child born in Israel, Jewish or Arab, including Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza.

I know; I lived there.

Answer 4

and who told you that we sending money to Israel. Israel is a very big partner in the fight against terror and every normal person knows it.did you forget 9/11? Israel is in a war with them for the past 60 years. and if all around the world leaders will listen to Israel of what needs to be done, today we will have a better world against terror.

Answer 5

Americans don't send tax dollars to Isreal, our government does. Now ask the real question, Why should we pay taxes at all.

Answer 6

Because Israel is like a subsidiary of US in that part of world and because US have a special interest in that part. I think US have a special plan for that place, maybe a military base, a strategic point in that part of World. "National security" point?

Answer 7

Would you like to fight the terrorists or have Israel do it for us? That's why we send them money!

Answer 8

Because they are fighting the same enemy that we are fighting but they are fighting it on another front. If we don't defeat the enemy on all fronts that sooner or later they will be in this country God forbid blowing things up

Answer 9

They should stay out of the Middle East. All nations should sanction goods from the whole area and let THEM fight it out.

Answer 10

Yes, Bush should keep his abnormally fat nose out of other countries business.
